Parking lock unit and drive arrangement

1. A parking lock unit for a drive assembly, comprising:

a parking lock housing,

a parking ratchet wheel comprising a connecting portion and an engagement portion which are connected to one another via a web portion extending at an inclined angle,

wherein the connecting portion of the parking ratchet wheel is rotationally fixedly connected to a rotatable part of the drive assembly which is rotatably supported about an axis of rotation by at least one bearing,

a locking element which is supported in the parking lock housing and is arranged to lock and release a rotational movement of the parking ratchet wheel about a longitudinal axis of the parking ratchet wheel, and

a controllable locking actuator which is arranged to reversibly transfer the locking element into a position locking the parking ratchet wheel and a position releasing the parking ratchet wheel,

wherein the parking ratchet wheel is formed such that the engagement portion is axially offset with respect to the connecting portion;

wherein a width of a wall of the web portion increases, at least in a partial region, from radially outside to radially inside such that stresses occurring in this partial region are at least substantially constant.

2. The parking lock unit according to claim 1 ,

wherein a first central plane of the engagement portion of the parking ratchet wheel has a first distance to a second central plane of the connecting portion of the parking ratchet wheel, which first distance is greater than a smallest axial thickness of the web portion.

3. The parking lock unit according to claim 1 ,

wherein the web portion has a wall that is thinner, at least in a partial region, than the engagement portion and the connecting portion.

4. The parking lock unit according to claim 1 ,

wherein the parking ratchet wheel is arranged on a projecting free shaft end of the rotatable part of the drive assembly.

5. The parking lock unit according to claim 2 ,

wherein the first central plane of the engagement portion of the parking ratchet wheel is arranged axially between the second central plane of the connecting portion of the parking ratchet wheel and a third central plane of the bearing arranged closest to the parking ratchet wheel.

6. The parking lock unit according to claim 5 ,

wherein the ratio of the first distance to a second distance between the second center plane of the connecting portion of the parking ratchet wheel and the third center plane of the bearing closest to the parking ratchet wheel is greater than 0.25, and less than 1.

7. The parking lock unit according to claim 2 ,

wherein the ratio of the first distance to an outer diameter of the parking ratchet wheel is greater than 0.08, and less than 0.5.

8. The parking lock unit according to claim 7 ,

wherein the ratio of the first distance to a first width of the parking ratchet wheel at the outer diameter is greater than 0.85, and less than 3.

9. The parking lock unit according to claim 8 ,

wherein the ratio of the first width of the parking ratchet wheel at the outer diameter to a third width of the parking ratchet wheel at an inner diameter is less than 1.0, and greater than 0.7.

10. The parking lock unit according to claim 1 , wherein the locking element is releasably engaged with the engagement portion of the parking ratchet wheel.

11. A drive assembly for electromotively driving a motor vehicle, comprising:

a parking lock unit including a parking lock housing, a parking ratchet wheel with a connecting portion and an engagement portion which are connected to one another via a web portion extending at an inclined angle, wherein the connecting portion is rotationally fixedly connected to a rotatable part of the drive assembly that is rotatably supported about an axis of rotation by at least one bearing, the parking lock unit further including a locking element which is supported in the parking lock housing and is arranged to lock and release a rotational movement of the parking ratchet wheel about a longitudinal axis of the parking ratchet wheel, and a controllable locking actuator which is arranged to reversibly transfer the locking element into a position locking the parking ratchet wheel and a position releasing the parking ratchet wheel, wherein the parking ratchet wheel is formed such that the engagement portion is axially offset with respect to the connecting portion;

a housing assembly;

an electric motor connected to the housing assembly and having a motor shaft which is rotatably drivable;

at least one transmission shaft; and

a power splitting unit;

wherein the motor shaft, the at least one transmission shaft and the power splitting unit are each rotatably supported in the housing assembly and are connected to each other via at least one gear stage for transmitting motion and torque, and

wherein the rotatable part to which the parking ratchet wheel is connected in a rotationally fixed manner is one of the motor shaft, transmission shaft, and power splitting unit;

wherein a width of a wall of the web portion increases, at least in a partial region, from radially outside to radially inside such that stresses occurring in this partial region are at least substantially constant.

12. The drive assembly of claim 11 , wherein the locking element is releasably engaged with the engagement portion of the parking ratchet wheel.
